Amilthi Camlenn
Meditation Junkie
Amilthi had been surprised at how little she had felt at the news of Romi Jade's recent fate. She had known the other woman for over a decade, since the time when they were both Padawan learners in the days of the Galactic Republic, entangled in the war. And somehow, over all these years, the Force had had a habit of leading them back together - first in the Jedi Enclave on Deneba, and again later it had been Romi who saved Amilthi from the frozen wastes of Eira Pechal and brought her to the Praxeum. And yet when she disappeared from existence, transformed into and was replaced by another person, Amilthi experienced and reacted to the event mostly through its impact on Coren. One might have thought it callous - there should have been regret and disappointment, thoughts of what she could have done to prevent the misfortune. But Amilthi's surprise at her own reaction, or lack of it, was not a negative one. While she was ready to do everything in her power to prevent bad things from happening, once they had happened and were a thing of the past, it was best to let go of them so that they could not extend their maleficent influence into the present and the future.
She had thought much about it after her recent conversations with Coren, but had found that she could conclusively put the matter to rest - not foreclosing, of course, the perspective of getting a hold of Romi and putting matters right; but that was future-oriented thinking again. Now, however, a totally unexpected occurrence had brought the topic to the forefront of her mind. The Praxeum had received a jumbled message that, upon closer inspection, turned out to have been encrypted with no key known to the database. Amilthi was not a slicer, but a mathematician of sort, and she had quite enjoyed engaging with the problem. Nevertheless, no progress could be made - until it occurred to her that the message might be of a personal nature, but ill-addressed. She had invited the members of the Praxeum to download the file and decrypt it with their personal keys, if they had such. And in this process, it had turned out that the message was encrypted with a personal public key Amilthi had used during the time of the Jedi Order on Deneba. It was meant for her.
Disconnecting her data pad from the network, Amilthi made sure that the clear text would not leave her possession, and retreated into her chamber to read it...
